What does a TRUMP presidency look like?

[CountDeMoney]

Sure there is.  She's a lawyer, she's the one that has to prosecute cases or conduct legal defenses in such matters.

she conducts legal defenses and initiates legal actions all at the pleasure of the president

The President's pleasure to was to shoot out a half-baked EO.  She would be the one forced to craft a defense around it.

You're supposed to be going to law school, right?  In Poland?

The White House statement on the firing was hilarious.

SHE HAS BETRAYED US

yes, exactly, she's forced to craft a defense around it. that's her entire job. she has no ability to say otherwise. plus, it's not like this was a completely (legally) indefensible executive order. it went against her morals, but that's not what the job is about. her job is to serve the president, not intentionally obstruct the president with this massive order informing the entire agency no, mr. president!

I have absolutely no interest in engaging in any conversation with LaCroix, nor am I an expert or scholar on the Federal government but I will just leave these here:

Elected or appointed officials decline to prosecute cases or defend challenges every day. 

And no, Marti, her job is not "to serve the president", it is to administer justice without respect to persons, and do equal right to the poor and to the rich, and to faithfully and impartially discharge and perform all the duties incumbent upon her under the Constitution and laws of the United States.

You fucking fuck.  You're really getting on my nerves tonight.

I think she's telling them not to waste their time because the courts are going to toss out the order anyway.

that is absolutely not what she's saying

that's absolutely what she is saying:  don't waste time defending an unlawful act.

Long article on how public complacency and presidential favoritism and congressional non-oversight could put America on the path to an authoritarian state.

[Valmy]

This gets brought up with every single administration. And it is absolutely true. And it is mostly Congress' fault.

We are always one bad President away.
